Description
ET6 is a high-performance 6-sided CNC drilling machine designed for intelligent panel furniture production. Equipped with dual drilling units, an automatic tool changer (ATC), a right-angle head, and a saw blade unit, it completes drilling, grooving, and routing on all six sides of a panel in a single cycle. The advanced ATC system enables automatic tool changes for complex machining operations, while the right-angle head and saw blade unit support multi-directional side milling, grooving, Lamello slot machining, invisible connector processing, and bevel shaping. With dual drilling units significantly improving productivity and reducing cycle times, the ET6 is an ideal solution for both batch-size-one and high-volume customized furniture manufacturing.
Features
- Equipped with dual upper drilling blocks and a lower drilling block, the ET6 performs multiple drilling operations simultaneously, significantly reducing cycle times and increasing productivity.
- The integrated ISO30 automatic tool changer enables seamless switching between drilling, routing, grooving, and milling tools.
- The 4-head right-angle head expands machining capabilities for Lamello slots, invisible connectors, side milling, meeting the demands of modern furniture manufacturing.
- Complete drilling, grooving, and routing on all six sides of a panel in a single setup without repositioning.

FAQ
A 6-sided drilling machine is primarily designed for drilling, grooving, routing on all six sides of a panel in a single setup. A CNC nesting machine is mainly used for cutting and shaping panels from raw boards. In a modern furniture factory, the nesting machine performs panel cutting, while the 6-sided drilling machine completes precision drilling and machining operations. Together, they create a highly automated production workflow for custom furniture manufacturing.
Yes. Modern 6-sided drilling machines are specifically designed for batch-size-one and mass customization production. By automatically reading production data and adjusting machining programs, the machine can process different panel sizes and drilling patterns without manual setup changes. This flexibility allows manufacturers to efficiently produce customized furniture while maintaining high productivity.
Yes. Machines equipped with a right-angle head, C-axis spindle, and ATC system can process Lamello slots, Clamex connectors, invisible connectors, and other concealed fastening solutions. These features expand the machine’s capabilities beyond standard drilling and make it suitable for advanced furniture assembly requirements and modern design trends.
A standard 6-sided drilling machine is suitable for applications focused mainly on drilling and grooving. An ATC-equipped machine offers greater flexibility by automatically changing tools for routing, slotting, connector machining, and specialized processing. For manufacturers producing customized furniture with diverse machining requirements, an ATC model can significantly improve efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
Most modern 6-sided drilling machines support common furniture manufacturing software and data formats, including DXF, XML, MPR, and CSV files. They can often integrate with CAD/CAM systems, furniture design software, MES platforms, and ERP systems. Compatibility may vary depending on the control system and software package installed on the machine.
